Sungrow sichert sich mit dem VDE-FNN-Prototypenzertifikat den weltweit ersten Zugang für den deutschen Markt für Trägheit in Energiesystemen

Sungrow, a global leading supplier of PV inverters and energy storage systems, has achieved another global milestone in grid-forming technology. The company's SC210HX series power conversion systems (PCS) have received the VDE-FNN prototype certificate issued by Germany's TÜV Rheinland, making them the world's first PCS for energy storage systems to meet all German standards for medium and high-voltage grid connection and grid-forming performance verification. This enables the PowerTitan energy storage systems equipped with the SC210HX PCS series to drastically shorten the grid connection time, reduce project acceptance risks, accelerate access to the latest inertia market in Europe, and significantly enhance the financing competitiveness of energy storage projects. The certification framework developed by VDE FNN, the organization responsible for German grid technology and operational standards, sets comprehensive requirements for integration into medium and high-voltage grids. It is widely recognized by European grid operators, developers, and financial institutions, serving as a crucial benchmark for assessing the conformity, reliability, and grid support capabilities of energy storage projects. Equipped with Sungrow's self-developed grid-forming core technology, energy storage systems with SC210CX series PCS offer excellent grid adaptability and stable grid support. The system can independently absorb or release active and reactive power to meet grid demands in all scenarios, including frequency regulation, voltage regulation, and emergency power supply. In weak grids with a high proportion of renewable energy, the inverter maintains voltage source characteristics and rapidly releases dynamic reactive current during grid short-circuit faults. Furthermore, the system can establish a power grid without external synchronization and supports black-start and islanded operation, effectively solving grid connection issues for remote energy storage plants and off-grid projects. By successfully passing the stringent VDE-FNN testing process, Sungrow has demonstrated that the reliability of its hardware, its proprietary control algorithms, and its grid-forming performance fully meet the strictest German grid standards. The certification represents a significant recognition of Sungrow's technical leadership in advanced energy storage and grid support solutions. Beyond its technical significance, this certification offers tangible economic value to project developers. European market standards are becoming increasingly stringent, and leading investment institutions and lending banks use the TÜV Rheinland VDE certification as a key metric for evaluating project conformity and asset reliability. This certification allows developers to significantly shorten grid connection timelines, avoid project delays during acceptance, and comply with the latest European access rules for inertia-based energy storage. It also enhances the credibility, bankability, and financing of energy storage projects. Based on its comprehensive portfolio of VDE-compliant, grid-forming energy storage products, Sungrow will continue to deepen its expertise in the European energy transition, providing safer, more grid-friendly, and more profitable energy storage solutions to customers worldwide.
